but you can see the pieces coming together, as you laid out, on the fiscal cliff. some increase in marginal tax rates coupled with some kind of cutting back on tax expenditures. the real concern is shifting or will shift from the fiscal cliff to the debt limit. it's not at all clear that the republicans will agree to including a debt limit increase in that kind of package. if they don't, we may get past december 31st only to find ourselves with a big problem in february or march. >> the obama administration, the white house has been very clear, they will not sign anything, even to get past december 31st. that doesn't include a debt ceiling of some sort. so do you think they can hold firm on that if republicans offer them a package that doesn't include the debt ceiling? >> this is where i think the tension is now arising, which is even if you have some agreement over the tax rates which will jam the republicans a bit, can you jam them on the debt limit also. i think the concern will be an administration overstepping or overreaching and trying to jam a debt limit inc

they're also saying 1 in 4 americans are saying that the understanding of the fiscal cliff and saying they understand it very well is only that rate. 1 in 4. does that favor the president because he can frame the argument as chief government spokesman? >> sure. the president always has the bully pulpit. one thing i want to make clear, all of our listeners and viewers now, is that the tax rate increase the president is proposing is only on income earned over 250. so for some family earning $280,000, they'll pay the same rate on the first $250,000 of income. they'll pay the increased rate on only the additional $30,000. so that does cushion the blow for those people at $280,000 in some areas of the country with two kids in college who really aren't very rich. but that cushions the blow. but remember, we've got to do a whole lot more. that is only $800 billion in revenue over ten years. we've got to get up at least another $400 billion or $500 billion in revenue so we have to cut some tax expenditures and also have to cut the military budget. richard, we spend more, ten times more than c
